@Jumell Sorry OP!
Never seen CPP but if I admit to also liking Butterflies and Man About The House can I stay please? 🙏

Hill Street Blues.

I've watched a few oldies. I remember them fondly but watching them now they are largely a load of rubbish as it's hard to not compare to modern day programmes. They were certainly gold viewing in their hey-day

As a kid I was desperate to go on Funhouse (another banger of a theme tune) and then as an adult I've always fancied a go at supermarket sweep.

Would love to see the early series of Bread again (she.is.a.tart!), Live & Kicking (with Zoe & Jamie), Lois and Clark, The Upper Hand.

Ok the programmes you’ve quite I hate to say are all a bit

After My Time 😭😭 but I raise you

@FatLarrysBanned Howards Way is probably semi responsible for the hole in the Ozone layer with all the hairspray they had going on!

I would agree but I made the mistake of getting very excited to find episodes of Brush Strokes on YouTube and suggesting that teenage DD watched it with me. It really hasn't aged well. I remembered 'Jacko' as being charming, funny and quite a heartbreaker. Turns out that viewed through modern eyes he was a bit of a slimey creep. I couldn't believe that I'd remembered it so differently and wish I'd left the series as a pleasant memory

Oh no !!! Loved Brush Strokes

Reruns yes. I don’t think you could remake a lot of the old favourites because time has changed everything.

When they brought gladiators back, I did think the generation game would be a good one to bring back to life.

I think they've tried TGG a few times but never managed to make it work. Some things were just of their time I guess.

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 11/12/2024 16:17

FuzzyPuffling · 11/12/2024 15:46

Tony Robinson's "Maid Marian and her Merry Men".

And "Trap Door"

And yes, I watch telly.

Edited

Oh god, just realised I don't know anything of what's currently in the charts but I still know ALL the words to Maid Marian.

And I still watch telly.
Never mind old I think I'm antiquated 🥴

They've been showing old episodes of "Call My Bluff" on BBC4 recently and I forgot how simple, yet entertaining, a programme it was.

I'd love to see a modern day version of it!

Just had a look on YouTube and quite few eps up on there!

I wish it would be brought back! They could get Victoria Coren Mitchell on it to follow in her dad’s footsteps.
